Briefcase Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Roundabouts. People that don't even bother indicating on them, that use the outside lane to go all the way round and people who wait until there isn't even a car in sight before going onto it whilst your waiting there behind knowing there are gaps.  Re indicating I'm at a point now where I just want to go onto the roundabout right in front of somebody if they can't be bothered to indicate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted January 5, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted January 5, 2017 The end of yesterday nearly fell into this category — I was knackered, and hoping for an early night, whilst also wanting to try out my new pizza cutter. We had a 5-7pm delivery from Amazon Fresh scheduled, but at 7pm they emailed to say that a technical error meant deliveries might be 3 hours late. We ordered in a (cracking) takeaway pizza, garlic knots, and zeppole, and the delivery finally showed up at 9:30, but it was just a courier, not a real Amazon bloke. He handed over some bags and went downstairs to get the rest, and when I was taking the shopping out I found out that a jar of salsa had smashed in the bag and ruined a bunch of things. Then the bloke came back, stinking of shit, and told me he wasn't taking any of the rubbish with him (they normally take the empty insulated bags, and any blocks of ice that came with them) — I think he had second thoughts when he saw the mess he'd made of the delivery, and took it all off in a huff, inadvertently taking a big tub of coffee ice cream with him.  Turned out okay in the end, though — Amazon refunded the whole cost of the delivery even though we only lost about 10%, so we're just getting the same stuff delivered tomorrow morning, and all it cost is an apartment that smells faintly of salsa, and me having to wipe my arse with napkins because the toilet paper was a salsa casualty.  Today brought my mum throwing out a casually racist gem: when I told her the Nottingham Post said that a travelers' camp was going up near to her, she said "me no rikey pikeys". Which was amusing, and a damning indictment of her upbringing on episodes of Mind Your Language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rey_Piste Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I have been off work over the holidays, but I keep waking up early between 5 and 6am most mornings. I know next week when I am back to work I will struggle to get up on time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vamp Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 People who put their library cards in their mouths just moments before handing them to you. By people I mean adults. Â Although I'm just bitter because I'm ill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted January 6, 2017 Moderators Share Posted January 6, 2017 That is gross, and possibly why you got ill..So that seems to be a perfectly reasonable grievance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Gus Mears Posted January 6, 2017 Author Paid Members Share Posted January 6, 2017 What is acceptable to eat at your desk at work? I'm currently munching through salad and chicken drumsticks. Now gnawing on bone is surely beyond the pale, but I'm using a knife and fork to avoid looking like a total caveman. That's surely OK?

I've eaten cooked chicken thighs in sauce at my desk & looked like a fucking animal, getting through napkins like Larry David. Depends if you're in an open plan environment though I guess?

Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted January 6, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted January 6, 2017 It's your desk, boss — I have fried chicken and ribs all the time, the reasoning being that if Sheila can eat sardine curry, there are no barriers.

Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted January 6, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted January 6, 2017 I go down the deli for the buffet on the regular — $6 a pound. Get some spinach pie, some ribs, some egg salad and some lettuce. Cracking dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Gus Mears Posted January 6, 2017 Author Paid Members Share Posted January 6, 2017 What's spinach pie when it's at home? Is it literally spinach wrapped in pastry? That seems a touch pointless; "Well, I need to be healthy, so I've got this broccoli which I've maple glazed and bunged a load of marshmallows on.".

Paid Members Gus Mears Posted January 6, 2017 Author Paid Members Share Posted January 6, 2017 That looks positively grotesque. A pie is for meat, gravy and potato's, you massive pansy. Has America turned you soft or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
